My Best Recipe for Pita Chips
Ingredients
- 2 pitas
- 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut pita breads into small triangles. The easiest way to do so is by using kitchen scissors – we like to cut them in half, then cut each section in half until we get 16 triangles from each pita bread.
- Add pita triangles to a large bowl and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Mix to coat the pitas.
- Spread the pita triangles in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes and serve with your favourite dipping sauce.
